AiQ Consulting has recently signed a three-year framework agreement with HAL for the annual maintenance of Airside Traffic Simulations, Ground Service Equipment (GSE) & Unit Load Device (ULD) models for Airside Operations at Heathrow Airport.
As part of this framework we will maintain an airport process, demand and capacity model with a reportable database and 2D visual vehicle simulation of all Airside Passenger Terminal & Cargo areas of Heathrow.
The baseline database and simulation model will include all vehicle operations for Arrival and Departure (including Aircraft), regular airside traffic and operations including maintenance. We will also update simulations yearly and deliver reports for the current Summer Seasonal Schedule changes.
Our work will include other airport processes, such as demand and capacity assessment studies, surveying airport activities, gathering and processing airport data and stakeholders management.
Additionally, we will work with Heathrow to develop and maintain demand and capacity models of airport activities for all areas of the airport. For example, in the terminal we may look at end to end Passenger flow, from Kerbside, Check-in, Security & Screening, Departure Concourse (IDL), Gate, Immigration, to Passenger Reclaim. We can also examine Baggage, including Check-in, Transfer, Baggage System flow, Early Bag Storage, Baggage Make-up, and Reclaim. On the Apron, our Framework covers airside Vehicle Flow, Stand, Ground Services Equipment and Unit Load Device (ULD) Flow.
